show off your houses, please!

i love the placing of the piano, that's really smart. i usually cram it in some corner and well, it just looks like that. like i crammed it into the corner because i didn't know where else to put it. (i hate big furniture :c never know how to place it in a smart and pretty way.)

your kitchen is also pretty cool, love the "counter" you build with the salad buffet and the cake display.

i think the snack/popcorn machine would fit really well into the balloon room. or the toy dispenser (i don't know the correct english word, would have to look it up. hope you know what i mean.) or some balloons you get for a certain amount of street pass meets.
Thanks. I usually consider big items as the centerpiece of a room, particularly the main room since it has 4 doors around its walls. The side rooms wouldn't matter as much since it only has one entrance. It is also a habit of mine to decorate around the big items too, get some sort of symmetry in there.

I love my kitchen for that as well. I just needed something to block off the kitchen from the rest of the room, so I combine whatever set I came across (so long it falls under the same theme).

I'll thought of adding the popcorn/toy-machine. It has the kind of bold-red that is kinda off from the balloon's light red. Those items work better with my piano in the kitchen though (maybe I'll get some sort of circus theme going in another room). But your idea with the street pass balloons are great! I wish I knew about adding it before obliverated my town. I'm sloooowly working my way back to my old house, but I'll definitely remember your idea (once I get there). xD
 
i especially like the rococo/princess room as that's the style i'm currently going for. love the symmetry. (also, WHERE'S THAT DRESS FROM I NEED IT IN MY LIFE)
would you show the mermaid room? i'm currently planning on mixing some of the fish set and a couple of real fish in, but i don't know how to go about it yet.

I had Nana at some point and her room was a mix of mermaid,alpine and minimalist sets. Looked amazing.

Ooo Alice in Wonderland is a brilliant idea. Thank you I will try it when I have the time in the future. :D
You are going to hate me when I say it took me a long time to gather lots of the furniture series. xD Ever since I gotten the game on June 10th. I have been connected with friends who like to catalog tons of items. I want the Catalog Maniac Gold Badge if possible.
 
i love love love this, especially the spa! i never thought the minimalist furniture could look that good, to me it's kind of bland and boring... how wrong i was!

that's my fear as well, to be honest :c i should probably put up a sign in the entrance hall: "i'm not a hoarder, i'm a COLLECTOR. kthxbye"

i'd love to see your kitchen, even if it's just a wip-pic :blush: i'm a sucker for kitchens.

Thanks!

I've just taken to displaying my "collector" stuff in the museum instead - I doubt many people actually check out other's museum displays, but I honestly can't incorporate them nicely into my house. :p

And I'll definitely have my kitchen up soon - I'm having so much trouble with it! Scrapped the Sweets theme (just replaced all of it with custom white ranch furniture instead), I do love it but it doesn't really go with the kitchen-y stuff, like the kitchen island and fridge. :c I really wish they were customizable!
 
I'm really proud of my house exept for one room (the one on the right, i have no idea about how I can pimp it) My DA is

aha I don't mind you stealing my idea ^_^ And I like a new thread - it's not dead so I can get more ideas! :D
thank you :D

i put my (remade) grand piano in the middle of my princess room on the first floor and it looks so pretty there <3 i'm really grateful for that idea.

i think the sushi conveyor belt would fit into your kitchen as well. or the lazy susan table. (need to get my hand on one of those, dammit) you're probably right about the snack/popcorn machine fitting better into your kitchen - i just looked at their pictures on moridb.com and the red is really bright. i thought it'd be darker/paler.

good luck on getting there :blush: if i can help in any way, let me know. my catalog is quite big by now, as long as it's reorderable, we can work something out.


thank you <3 i like the idea of hiding the bed behind the room divider/screen. *steals idea* ;)

ohh, that sounds interesting! are there any websites with pictures of villager's homes i could look at?

i love this book, it's been one of my favorites since i was a child and when i saw the card/weeding series, it immediately popped into my head. :)

nah, no hate - just envy ;) my only irl friend who plays ac:nl has been kicked to the curb after going ham on my town, so i need to rely on the forums to find things - but i'm getting there, my wish list has been cut in half since i got here. really happy with how things are currently working out :>

Thanks!

Scrapped the Sweets theme (just replaced all of it with custom white ranch furniture instead), I do love it but it doesn't really go with the kitchen-y stuff, like the kitchen island and fridge. :c I really wish they were customizable!

i had stored most of my fairy tale-ish stuff in the museum before starting to build my second house as it didn't fit in with the theme of my first (spooky, creepy, twisted castle with a secret lab in the basement :D)
now i just have the things that i have for sale in there as they clutter my storage. and my clothes. oh, and the ice set, until i get the next room in my new house. but yeah. *coughs* that's basically it.

as i said above, i'm trying to build a fairy bakery with the sweets set - thanks to the lovely donevor i finally have the set complete, i just lack space to put everything into the room. but i'm getting there :)
hmmm... is the retro fridge customizable? uncustomized, it's green, maybe that fits in better. if you can put stuff on the kitchen island (never had it, never used it) just cover it in some cakes, grey goes basically with everything ;)

Hey! Nice idea thanks! I have enjoyed looking at all your answers so far! I WANT THAT CAPRICORN STATUE THINGY!
I have a fairy-tale house which is here.. http://violet-town.tumblr.com/post/73036324174/i-got-1-600-000-hha-points-today-for-my-fairy-tale and a Toy shop house which I haven't got photos of but it is in my dream town :)

These are my three favourite rooms!

YOU. LET ME HIRE YOU. LET ME HIRE YOU FOR INTERIOR DECORATION. BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR ****.

Yeah, I'm too lazy to post pics of my two houses, so look in my sig for the dream code.

thank you <3 i'm about to head to bed (3am, hahahahahahahaha) so i'll visit it tomorrow :)
 
OMG Your houses are so cute ;3; I was so unoriginal and just slapped my favorite sets in each room, with the upper room being a rainbow throw up... I'll get some captures and I'll update here, but my house is far from being as nice as yours ;u; now I feel like redecorating.

That actually sound very nice for the princess room, and you're welcome for the piano/center/etc idea. I was thinking of using the princess theme for another room of mine, and I decide to go against it since almost everyone as it. I'm more interested in making use of combinations of sets anyway.

And thank you for the offer. I'm going to be working on my own for them though, since that's how I like to play my game. Nothing against folks who trade things in general though (they help a player out, you know?). I just like to put in the effort and the sense of feeling (pride) when I come across it the legit way (excluding time travel since it's more of a catch-up phase).
 

ohhh, thank you so much <3 that's a great help.

but rainbow vomit sounds nice :o let's see!

it looks like it was made for it, to be honest. i put a lot of white/blue flowers in there, the baroque doll (? if it's called like that in english, i'm talking about the doll in the golden box with the blue dress), the snow globe, some food items and am currently trying to squeeze the bath tub in, as well :D i just have to find a way to put the furniture in a way it forms a little "room" in the room, if you know what i mean.

i know exactly what you mean, don't worry :3 no offense taken. i really like to buy/sell/trade - to me, it's a great way to make some bells, help someone out with stuff they need and get my hands on some things that aren't available where i live (the japanese/korean/american dlcs, for example, or things from certain events like halloween or easter i wasn't able to get no matter how hard i tried)
but i completely understand players who don't want or need it themselves. i actually did the first three months when i was playing but then i kinda got the shopping-bug ;)
